The current event brought together nearly 10,000 industry specialists, representing all phases of the lifecycle of biotechnological and pharmaceutical product development. "As the pharma and biotechnology industry continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, INTERPHEX remains an indispensable platform to advance innovation, knowledge exchange, and collaboration," summarizes Douglas Lugo, Event Director of INTERPHEX.

For three days, exhibitors and visitors celebrated themselves and the future of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry: with more than 550 international exhibitors, groundbreaking innovations, professional exchange, and conferences.

With our innovative strength, flexibility, and comprehensive know-how, we support research, supply security, and quality assurance in regulated environments — in healthcare and food supply."
